I got a pound in my freezer, but I haven't tried them out yet. My basement is colder than usual this year, so I'm trying to take advantage of it right now with some alts and lagers. I'll probably do another round of single-hopped pale ales in a couple of months to test out a bunch of new hop varieties I'm sitting on.

I've seen you mention Mosaic a few times, so I bought 5 oz from Label Peelers. I couldn't find any bulk rates on them anywhere...I actually had a tough time finding them. So, I'm looking forward to using them. I'm thinking about about using them to finish an IPA that I bitter with Summit. I really haven't thought too far into it yet.

Anyways, I went to order the Meridian and El Dorado hops and once I added the El Dorado hops to the cart, there was not a "sufficient" stock for this amount. I emailed them to see if they actually had some, so I might just be trying the Meridian haha.

Ok, I have a pound of Meridian on the way, so I put together a pale ale recipe. Since I'm still relatively new at recipes, be sure to give advice or any adjustments....especially in the malt bill. Thanks!

That's an awful lot of crystal malts for my taste. I prefer no more than 3/4lb in 5 gallons... but that's just me - do what suits your taste!

+1 to too much crystal for me, but +1 to do what suits your tastes as well. I'd try to keep the Crystal to a pound or less. Or better yet, swap out the C40 for a pound of Munich and maybe swap the C60 for a half pound of Victory.

Thanks for the advice. I have only brewed one pale ale before. It was my first all grain back in July. I used a pound of each 20L and 40L in that. it was decent. My plan is to brew three in a weekend in March. I want them to all have the same grain bill, so I can just play around with some hops. I plan on doing this recipe, a single hopped Citra, and maybe a 4 C's blend of centennial, cascade, chinook and Columbus. So what I might do is just kick the 40L down to a half a pound.
